Find or Start a Local Group

Find a Local Group near to you

You can look for a group close to where you live on the Local Group map. If you can't find a pin on the map close enough to you, then either you could click on the hourglass symbol to join your Nation/Region.

Local Group Support team is here to help

This is an UK-wide team with dedicated volunteers focussed on helping Local Groups. These volunteers are called 'Gardeners' - they are a local person focussed on helping Local Groups in your particular Nation or Region and they can support and guide you through any of the items listed below.

Contact this team on their Mattermost reception or by email - LGsupport@extinctionrebellion.uk

Find local rebels

Alternatively you could get in touch with the Local Group Support team to help you find individual rebels close to you to either form an Affinity Group and perhaps set up a new Local Group.

Set up a new Local Group

• Have a meeting
• Choose a name for your group
• Set up a contact email address for your group
• Choose a messaging chat
• Set up one or more social media channels
• Apply for a new (or get access to an exsiting) Action Network email list
• Get your group visible on the Local Group map
